In the past, models for slope illuminance and irradiance for the United Kingdom and Europe have been developed by the present author. The present study was undertaken with a view to extend the above work for Japan using the data now emerging from the CIE International Daylight Measurement Programme. Kyushu University in Japan is the international co-ordinating centre for this programme. Intercomparison of model's structure for European and Japanese sites shows that there is a strong possibility for a generalised global model.
